pericles and sebastian

The two of you pack your gear in record time and head down the trail at speed. For most of the trip you are aware of the smoke only. Your wagon hurtles round a corner to reveal a scene of unspeakable horror.
The wagon is almost burnt out now. There is a burnt corpse of what was probably once a man still slumped in the drivers seat. On the ground are the families belongings and the blood drenched corps of a woman. Just of the trail you see a sight that moves even your cold heart a child is pinned to a tree mutilated. knelt beside the corpse of the woman is a Sioux brave. He is examining the floor. The wagon is still some way off, as you close the brave gets up and moves to another spot and begins examining the ground.
Beyond the wagon you see a rider emerge from cover and charge head long towards the wagon.
